I don't actually have a crazy amount of thoughts about this book.

First and foremost, I really liked it! I thought it was unique and had a really interesting magic system - one unlike any other that I've seen in recent fantasy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook, since each perspective had a different narrator. The full cast was great and it made the story really come alive. It was so helpful to see the timeline come together through the different POVs.

The representation was excellent. It didn't feel forced or unnatural like some books where it almost seems as though the author added it as an after-thought because they felt like they "needed the diversity." No, this one just integrated it the way life actually happens.

I was a little bit confused towards the end, but it could've been that I was just distracted? I'm hoping the sequel helps clear things up for me and brings closure!
